Heat deflector



Patented Nov. 15, 1938 UNETED STATES PATENT OFFICE 1 Claim.

This invention relates to heat deflectors and has for an object to provide a deflector which may be applied to the burner of a stove and which is provided with a hood adapted to extend into the space above the oven of the stove and cause heat rising from the burner to be directed over the oven to efiectively heat the oven from the top.

A further object of the invention is to provide a deflector which may be adjustably secured to the burner to accommodate the device to various makes of stoves, and which will be perforated in the top to permit escape of gases upwardly and prevent objectionable accumulation of gases underneath the deflector.

With the above and other objects in view the invention consists of certain novel details of construction and combinations of parts hereinafter.

fully described and claimed, it being understood that various modifications may be resorted to within the scope of the appended claim without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention.

In the accompanying drawing forming part of this specification,

Figure 1 is a section view showing a pair of deflectors applied to the burner of the stove.

Figure 2 is a sectional view taken on the line 2-2 of Figure 1 and showing the hood of the deflector extending laterally beyond the lid of the stove into the space above the oven.

' Figure 3 is a cross sectional view taken on the line 3-3 of Figure 2 and showing the handle for applying, removing and adjusting the deflector.

Referring now to the drawing in which like characters of reference designate similar parts in the various views, l designates a stove of conventional construction having an oven I located adjacent the fire box I2 so that the heat from the fire box may pass through the space between the oven and the top of the stove through the usual outlet and cause the oven to be heated.

In carrying out the invention a deflector I3 is secured to each burner 14. The deflector is substantially circular in contour and of approximately the same diameter as the burner l4 and stove lid [5 above the burner. A depending flange I6 is formed integral with the top and is cut away on one side for a portion of its circumference. A hood I! is formed integral with the deflector above the cut away portion of the flange and is of suflicient length to extend beyond the lid l5 of the stove and well into the space between the top of the stove and the top of the oven as best shown in Figure 2. The hood is provided with downwardly diverging side walls l8 which are comparatively high at their outer ends and are comparatively low at their inner ends where they merge with the ends of the flange I6 of the deflector.

For adjustably mounting the deflector on the 5 burner M a substantially U-shaped strap I9 is provided with offset portions which are riveted as shown at 2! to the top of the deflector and thence are bent downwardly 'to provide bracket arms 22 which extend downward and overlap the 10 vertical wall of the burner. The bracket arms are provided with longitudinal slots 23 which receive adjusting bolts 24 carried by angular brackets 25 which bear upon the top of the burner as best shown in Figure 3.

An additional bracket arm 26 is riveted to the deflector as shown at 21 and is provided with a longitudinal slot 28 to receive an adjusting bolt 29 which is passed through a bracket arm 33 which bears upon the top of the burner. This 20 latter bracket arm is disposed midway between the two bracket arms 22 so that the deflector will be properly positioned upon the top of the burner to locate the hood l8 in position to overlap the top of the oven, as best shown in Figure 2.

The top of the deflector is provided with a plurality of perforations 3| through which the gases escape upwardly from underneath the deflector to prevent objectionable accumulation of gases. Also the deflector is provided in the top 30 with an opening 32 through which a lighter of any preferred type may be inserted to light the burner. Heat rising from the burner is deflected by the deflector laterally through the hood into the space directly over the"oven so that the oven 35 will be efiectively heated with a minimum fuel consumption.

From the above description it is thought that the construction and operation of the invention zvill be fully understood without further explanaion.

What is claimed is:

In a cooking stove, a burner, a lid above the burner, an oven disposed laterally of the lid and laterally of the burner, a flanged disc forming a heat deflector disposed below the lid of substantially the same diameter as the lid, adjustable bracket arms connected to the deflector and to the burner for adjusting the vertical height of the deflector from the burner, and a hood projecting from one side of the deflector and extending beyond the lid to overlap the top of the oven and direct heated air from the burner to the top of the oven.
